When the plasma inside a fusion system starts to misbehave, it needs to be quickly cooled to prevent damage to the device.
Researchers have determined that six gas valves provide the best protection against plasma disruptions in SPARC, a next-generation, experimental fusion system. By refining the setup for the fusion ...
Once completed, SPARC will use powerful magnetic fields to hold plasma in a shape ... a co-author of the paper and disruption scientist at Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Instabilities also need ...
